Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 172 Intimate
Xiao Wang was troubled for the whole night, with countless dark thoughts lingering in his mind. He kept despising himself in his heart, but he couldn't control his thoughts.

Looking at Ning Ci's bright smile at this moment, he suddenly made up his mind.

So what if we are childhood sweethearts?
He can help Ning Ci summon his soul, and Ning Ci can detoxify him. They are each other's only salvation, and the relationship between them is closer than that of childhood sweethearts!

This is a fate destined by God. Now that he has obtained it, he must grasp it, do his best and leave the rest to fate. As long as he has tried his best, he will not regret it too much even if they cannot be together in the end.

After the two of them had breakfast, Yan Ciwan quietly left the inn through the back door.

She stood by the official road and waited. Soon she saw Xiao Wang walking out of the main gate of the inn, followed by Du Lingzhou and Huai Yan.

It's a cloudy day today and the sky is foggy.

Xiao Wang and Yan Ci Wan came to the city gate together. After waiting for a while, they saw a familiar carriage driving out of the city. The people driving the carriage were Uncle Jiu and Cha Bingliang. Li Chengge rode a horse and followed slowly behind the carriage.

The carriage stopped in front of Yan Ciwan and Xiao Wang.

Uncle Jiu jumped out of the car, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Xiao Wang.

"Liu Lang, I just returned to the inn last night and was told that someone had delivered this letter. It was for you."

Xiao Wang opened the envelope, unfolded the letter, and quickly read the contents.

He looked up at Yan Ciwan's curious eyes and explained, "This is a letter my grandfather wrote to me. My grandfather said that my brother is serving as the county magistrate in Jin County. Now that his three-year term has expired, he can return to Chang'an to report on his work at the end of the year. My grandfather asked me to return to Chang'an with my brother so that I can take care of him on the way."

Yan Ciwan asked, "Where is Jin County?"

"In Yizhou. We will pass through Yizhou from here to Chang'an."

"Since it's on the way, let's go."

Xiao Wang nodded and said "OK".

He put away the letter, thinking that when he arrived in Jin County, he could ask his brother to help get Ning Ci an absolution.

This was just his idea and he didn't know if he could accomplish it in the end, so he didn't tell Yan Ci Wan about it.

Cha Bingliang brought a horse stool and asked Yan Ci to get in the car in the evening.

Xiao Wangze followed the carriage on horseback like Li Chengge. Du Lingzhou and Huai Yan immediately followed on horseback. As soon as Li Chengge saw them, he asked.

"Du Erlang, why do you always follow us?"

Du Lingzhou said confidently: "This road is not yours, I can go wherever I want, you have no right to stop me!"

Li Chengge laughed and said in a chilly tone: "Don't be so confident. If you really want to make a fuss, all the roads in the world belong to me."

When Du Lingzhou heard this, he didn't know what he was thinking about, but he rarely refuted.

Inside the carriage, Yan Ciwan heard the conversation outside. She had already suspected that Li Chengge's identity was not simple, and hearing him say this, she became more certain of her guess.

"Ah Ci, this is the new cape I bought for you. Try it on and see if it fits you well."

As Chaolu spoke, she handed over a snow-blue cloak.

Yan Ciwan came back to his senses.

She took the cloak and touched it. It felt very smooth and delicate. She asked, "When did you buy it?"

"Just now when I was leaving the city, I passed by a ready-made clothing store. I got off the car and bought this cloak from the store. Since it's a ready-made product, I don't know if the size is suitable. Try it on first. If it doesn't fit, I can help you alter it."

Yan Ciwan immediately put on the cloak, but due to the limited space in the car, she couldn't stand up to see if it was long enough.
She said sincerely: "It's very warm, thank you, you are so thoughtful."

Chaolu smiled sheepishly: "As long as you like it."

Yan Ciwan held her hand and said, "I am so lucky to have a good friend like you."

Chaolu blushed at the compliment: "It's just a cloak."

"The point is not the cloak, but your intention. I will definitely cherish your intention." Yan Ciwan smiled at her. Chaolu couldn't help but smile too. Her intention was cherished by the other party, which made her feel happier than receiving a gift herself.

The carriage continued along the official road and did not stop until dark.

They found an inn beside the official road and stayed there.

Yan Ciwan had no place to stay and could not check into the inn, so she could only wait outside the inn. When it was late at night and everyone in the inn was asleep, she used her lightness skills to climb over the wall and sneak into the inn quietly.

Xiao Wang hadn't slept yet. He had been standing in the backyard waiting. When he saw Yan Ci Wan coming, he whispered.

"follow me."

Yan Ciwan followed him and walked forward. She suddenly called out to him, "Xiao Liu, I'm giving this back to you."

Xiao Wang turned around and saw her handing him a neatly folded fox fur coat.

It was his fox fur coat, for she had given her cloak away, and he had lent her his.

Xiao Wang took the fox fur coat, glanced at her inadvertently, and asked, "When did you buy a new cloak?"

"I didn't buy it, someone gave it to me."

Hearing this, Xiao Wang's heart sank, but he remained calm: "Who is so considerate?"

Yan Ciwan smiled and said, "It's A-Lu. She bought it specially for me."

The sour feeling that had just emerged in Xiao Wang's heart disappeared in an instant.

It turned out to be morning dew, not some other weird stuff.

Xiao Wang noticed that the hem of Yan Ciwan's cloak dragged on the ground a little, and took the initiative to say, "Your cloak is a bit long, let me shorten it for you."

Yan Ciwan thanked him for his kindness and said there was no need to trouble him.

Xiao Wang lowered his eyes, a look of disappointment on his face: "Do you think nothing of my needlework? Yes, my needlework is indeed very average."

After saying this he laughed at himself.

Yan Ciwan: “…”

What's this sudden feeling of guilt?

She simply didn't want to cause him trouble!
Xiao Wang didn't say another word after that. He silently brought Yan Ci Wan to the door of the guest room. Chao Lu, who was in the room, heard the noise and immediately ran over to open the door.

When she saw that it was Yan Ciwan who came, she immediately said, "Come in quickly, I've saved some hot water for you."

Yan Ciwan went to see Xiao Wang, but saw that he had turned around and left without saying a word.

She walked into the guest room, took off her cloak, and began to wash.

Zhaolu picked up the cloak she had just taken off and said, "This cloak is a bit long. Let me help you alter it."

Yan Ciwan paused while washing her face. She couldn't help but think of Xiao Wang's lost expression. She said, "Don't worry, go to bed first. It's getting late. We need to get enough rest so that we can continue our journey tomorrow."

Chaolu said, "It's okay, it will be fixed soon."

Then she took out her needle, thread and scissors and began to cut the cloak.

Seeing that she had already started to get the hang of it, Yan Ciwan let her do it.

The next morning, Yan Ci Wan put on the modified cloak. She hesitated for a moment, and finally put on the scarf and gloves that Xiao Wang had given her.

She and Chaolu went out together carrying their bags, and just in time saw Xiao Wang coming out of the guest room opposite.
